Methods of treating bone resorption

Abstract

The present invention provides novel methods and compositions for treatment of pathological mineral resorptive states (PAMIRS), e.g., osteoporosis, employing disodiumchromoglycate (DSCG) and antiallergenic biologues, including other bis chromones, benzopyrans, and oxamates.

We claim: 
     
       1. A method of arresting or preventing bone resorption in an animal exhibiting or susceptible to development of bone resorption which comprises systemically administering to said animal an amount of DSCG effective to treat or prevent said bone resorption. 
     
     
       2. A method of arresting or preventing bone resorption in an animal exhibiting or susceptible to development of bone resorption which comprises systemically administering to said animal an amount of lodoxamide diethyl ester or lodoxamide bis-tham salt effective to treat or prevent said bone resorption.
